In comparative effectiveness research, the gold standard study design incorporates randomization and imposes minimal restrictions. However, these trials can very costly and time-consuming.

Decision-makers are often left to choose between waiting for valuable evidence from future pragmatic randomized trials or using suboptimal evidence from existing studies, such as randomized controlled trials.

In this webinar, experts from MAPI and REGISTRAT-MAPI will review how evidence generated for regulatory purposes can be useful for comparative effectiveness research.

Attendees will walk away with a solid understanding of:

How randomized control trials designed for drug licensing be combined and indirectly compared with other trials (even with limitations in mind)

How data obtained with registries and other observational (late phase) studies be used for comparative effectiveness research purposes
